Looking for a winter DIY project with a big transformation? 🎨✨

Repainting cupboards or furniture is a smart way to refresh your space without replacing everything. 🏡

Think kitchen cupboards, bathroom vanities, bookshelves, bedside tables, coffee tables or old wooden chairs. With the right preparation and paint, you can give tired pieces a completely new look. 🪑🖌️

Pro tip: Clean, sand and prime where needed before painting for a professional-looking finish. ✅

Would you repaint your cupboards in a classic neutral or try a bold 2026 colour trend? 🤍💚💙

Visit us in-store for help choosing a fresh colour for your next DIY makeover.

🏠 Roof Makeover with Universal Paints Linden

A properly prepared roof coating system makes all the difference when it comes to protecting your roof against South Africa’s harsh weather conditions.

Universal Paints Linden recently supplied Fox Roofing with a complete IBR roof coating system designed to restore, waterproof, and protect the surface for years to come.

The process included:

✅ Thorough surface preparation
Rusted areas were sanded down and the roof was washed with sugar soap to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants.

✅ Corrosion-resistant priming
Exposed metal areas were coated with Galvanised Metal Primer (Red) to help prevent rust and create a strong base for the coating system.

✅ Waterproofing of critical areas
Joints, overlaps, and flashing details were sealed with Uniproof (Grey) to help prevent water ingress and reinforce movement-prone areas.

✅ Durable roof coating finish
Two full coats of Roof Acrylic – Specialised Colours were applied in Sky Grey, creating a clean, uniform, UV-resistant finish built to withstand the elements.

This project is a great example of why the correct coating system matters. From preparation and priming to waterproofing and final coating, each layer plays an important role in extending the lifespan of the roof and protecting it against rust, leaks, and weather damage.

Thinking about restoring or repainting your roof?

Why are wind, dust, and contamination a risk during painting?

Wind, dust, and contamination can seriously compromise the quality of a paint finish 🌬️🎨

Wind speeds up drying time, making it difficult for paint to level properly, which can lead to lap marks and uneven finishes. Dust and airborne particles can settle into wet paint, creating rough textures, visible imperfections, and rework.

Contamination from dirt, oils, or moisture also affects adhesion, increasing the risk of peeling and premature paint failure — especially on exterior or exposed surfaces.

Managing these conditions with proper timing, surface preparation, and the right paint system is essential for achieving a durable, professional result.

Speak to Universal Paints for expert advice on managing environmental risks and choosing paint systems that perform — even in challenging conditions.

How can better coverage save time and labour?

Better coverage means fewer coats are needed to achieve a solid, even finish 🎨⏱️

When paint covers properly the first time, applicators spend less time reapplying coats, correcting patchy areas, or fixing mistakes. This reduces application time, lowers labour costs, and helps projects stay on schedule.

High-quality paints with superior coverage also minimise waste and effort, making both DIY and professional jobs more efficient from start to finish.

Choose Universal Paints for high-coverage, professional-grade paints that help you save time, reduce labour, and get the job done right the first time.
